Damn, looking at the comments here I realize sometimes I DO have more knowledge on some topics than other people. If you guys don't know that's a bronze sword, bronze is a metal that's well known due to its corruption-resistant properties. When bronze develops that green patina you see on the sword it also creates a sort of protective layer that shields the rest of the metal from oxygen and prevents it from rusting away.

Quick note meant to say corrosion not corruption lmao.

This is also why the statue of liberty is green. Also the colossus of Rhodes would've been the same color by the time of its fall, and especially by the time some MOTHERFUCKER SCRAPPED IT!
